Third--"uneducated/careless in their responsibilities"---almost too inane to deserve a response, but....if they believe they are billing correctly, and if their consultants believe they are billing correctly, how are they careless? And speaking of conjecture, how do YOU know other practices aren't in the same boat????

Again, all conjecture. You don't know these things to be facts, you just assume that TVH operated by the book.
Medicare Advantage plans that operate by the book don't over bill hundreds of millions of dollars.
And there are hundreds of cases of medicare fraud where the money went into people's pockets. This operation just went down last month -
